Today’s Klamath Falls Headlines

More Non-USA Citizens Found on Klamath County Voter Roles

Klamath County Elections was notified by the Secretary of State that there were potential Non-USA Citizens registered to vote in Klamath County per an error from the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles. The received information had four (4) more potentially non-USA citizens in Klamath County, whom have never voted.

The directed steps have been followed and no ballots will be issued. All four were registered in 2022, two were already inactive for undeliverable mail.

If you have evidence that a person may be unlawfully registered to vote, please send your evidence and the information to elections@klamathcounty.org. If you have questions, please contact our office at (541)883-5134.

 

Oregon legislators want answers about the DMV’s error with the Motor Voter Program that allowed at least over 12-hundred non-citizens to be registered to vote.

Nine of those people have voted, and this number is expected to grow. The Oregon Secretary of State’s office says the DMV has identified all of the people who were incorrectly registered. Those people won’t receive ballots for the General Election in November, unless their citizenship status has changed.

The DMV has made changes to the computer program that records the documents, the staff has been retrained, and an outside firm is reviewing how data is collected.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek today is directing the State’s Driver and Motor Vehicle Services (DMV) to take additional proactive steps to protect the integrity of Oregon’s Motor Voter program.

 

Klamath County Sheriff Kaber along with City Police Chief Rob Dentinger share concerns that social media posts are creating panic unnecessarily in the community.

Chris Kaber said via Facebook that recent threats against the community’s schools have been thoroughly investigated. He says the safety of the students is their highest priority.  Kaber added that concerned citizens be very careful to share social media posts before confirming their validity with either the schools or Klamath County 911.  He says it is crucial to avoid sharing false information because it can incite panic.

Kaber adds his office will continue to monitor situations closely and any questions the public has can be answered by contacting his office directly.

 

The Bureau of Land Management will conduct aerial herbicide applications from Sept. 25 through Oct. 31, 2024.

Weather permitting, approximately 2,599 acres in Klamath County will be treated. The applications will be conducted in the following areas east of Klamath Falls: Van Meter Fire area adjacent to Weber Road on Stukel Mountain, Golden Fire area southeast of Bly Mountain Pass.  Public lands near the Town of Bonanza, west of Harpold Rd (Windy Ridge area), Lorella and southeast of Gerber Recreation area, in the Horsecamp Rim and Lower Midway vicinity.

The goal of the proposed herbicide applications is to prevent the establishment and spread of invasive annual grasses, including cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), medusahead rye (Taeniatherum caput-medusae), and North Africa grass (Ventenata dubia).

The BLM is spraying the non-native, invasive annual grasses to restore native bunchgrass and shrub species within sagebrush restoration project areas and burned areas. The herbicide to be used for these projects is Imazapic, a pre-emergent that helps reduce the germination of undesirable winter annual grasses. Perennial bunchgrasses are dormant during this period and unaffected by the treatment.

 

Another devastating botulism outbreak has claimed the lives of an estimated 80,000 waterfowl throughout the Klamath Basin.

National Wildlife Refuges Complex.  That number will continue to climb until cooler weather and rain return to the region in late October. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) confirmed the total last week, a sum that surpasses the historic and devastating die-off event of 2020.

A news release from the Bird Alliance of Oregon said 16 conversation groups “sounded the alarm” last month when the outbreak became apparent. Teresa Wicks, biologist for Bird Alliance of Oregon, was quoted in the release saying she’d witnessed 500 dead birds, waterfowl and songbirds included, on Sept. 15 alone.

Ducks Unlimited estimated a 25% decline in the total Pacific Flyway population of waterfowl species in 2023. Among the most affected duck species are gadwalls, pintails and northern shovelers. The 2024 water season marked the first time in four years that water was available to be allocated to the Tulelake and Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuges.

The Bureau of Reclamation allocated between 5,000 and 10,000 acre-feet of water to be pumped through Sheepy Ridge via the historic and previously dormant Pump Station D. But the flows were insufficient to maintain life throughout the migratory season.

 

Oregon Institute of Technology of Klamath Falls is near the top of the class in one of U.S. News and World Report’s 2025 Best Colleges rankings.

Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT, Oregon Tech) says today it, “has proudly maintained its position as one of the nation’s top universities in multiple categories, according to U.S. News and World Report ‘Best Colleges 2025’ rankings.

“When sorted by categories for “Regional Colleges” and “Top Public Schools,” Oregon Tech is listed as the second-best public college in the West.

OIT says the publication also has ranked it the fourth-best among Western regional colleges, and moved it up five spots to the 53rd-best undergraduate engineering program, noting, “Furthermore, Oregon Tech rose 11 spots in Top Performers on Social Mobility, a ranking that evaluates enrolling and graduating a significant number of students who have been awarded Pell Grants.”

OIT says the rankings of undergraduate engineering programs, “are solely determined by peer assessment surveys. To be featured in this assessment, an institution must have an undergraduate engineering program accredited by ABET, the organization responsible for accrediting college and university programs.”

 

Lake Ewauna Wellness Project To Develop 63 Acres of Wetlands

The Lake Ewauna Wellness Project will restore, enhance and develop over 63 acres of wetland along its shores, providing new educational and recreational opportunities for the community and visitors to the Klamath Basin.

After a national pandemic, devastating droughts and polarizing politics, the Lake Ewauna Wellness Project embodies a mission to strengthen, beautify and unify the Klamath Basin.

Located on the western edges of Klamath Falls, Lake Ewauna is a 350 (approx.) acre body of water that is fed by Upper Klamath Lake via the Link River, and serves as the headwaters to the Klamath River. Often referred to as the “Everglades of the West” because of its biological diversity and importance to migratory birds, the Klamath River was once the third largest salmon-producing river on the West Coast, making Lake Ewauna once part of the life force for Native Americans who relied on the abundance of salmon and trout.

In the early 1900s, Lake Ewauna served as a mill pond for nine different sawmills, but by 1970, much of the log storage had been removed and milling operations ceased by 1995. Due to past activities along its shores, Lake Ewauna’s ecological systems have been severely impacted resulting in poor water quality and a degraded wildlife habitat.

The Klamath County Commissioners and Klamath County Economic Development Association (KCEDA began the process of addressing Lake Ewauna’s poor water quality in 2022 by pledging $1 million from American Rescue Plan Act grant funds. The money was designated to adapt a management system to alleviate deoxygenation and the lake’s high levels of ammonia, nitrogen and phosphorus buildup. That system should enhance Lake Ewauna’s water quality and aesthetics, and improve endangered species habitat and the usability of the lake for recreation.

Project leader Randy Cox said  in 2020, we did a downtown (Klamath Falls) survey and 90 percent of individuals said they wanted access to the water (on Lake Ewauna. Initially, Cox explained, for 18 months KCEDA was working with a company to remove over six feet of sediment in Lake Ewauna by enzymes and aeration only to learn the process was not approved for use on that specific type of body of water.

Aimed to be completed in phases, Klamath County and the City of Klamath Falls have already started working with the Wildlife Service to identify and remove invasive vegetation such as blackberry and red canary grass along the lake’s ridge lines and plant native vegetation that will not only enhance the area’s beauty, but also provide suitable habitats for butterflies, birds and fish.

Additionally, wetland design work is currently underway to restore 15 acres of wetland along the existing half mile of the Klamath Wing Watchers Trail, connecting by the new 63 acres of wetland (county-purchased property) under development.

 

The sale of Klamath National Forest permits, maps, and passes and other visitor services will be suspended temporarily next week during September 30, 2024, through October 4, 2024, and again on October 8, 2024.

This suspension applies to all forest and district offices. Additionally, the forest headquarters in Yreka, California, will be closed to in-person services during this time. The applications that allow staff to issue forest product permits, such as wood permits and commercial mushroom permits, will be unavailable next week as the USDA Forest Service closes out the 2024 fiscal year.

Permits and sales will resume October 7, 2024.

On October 8, 2024, the staff who process the sales of permits, maps, and passes are required to attend a day-long training on a new product inventory system that will go live on October 12, 2024.

During the temporary office closure, the public can receive forest information or have questions answered by calling the main phone line 530-842-6131.

 

The Klamath County Veterans Service Office will accept nominations for Klamath County’s Oldest Living Veteran.

The Nomination form will be open from September 25, 2024 – October 31, 2024.  To nominate a veteran stop by the Veterans Service Office, 3328 Vandenberg Rd. or call 541-883-4274.

The chosen Veteran will be honored on Monday, November 11, 2024 during the Veteran’s Day Ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park.

 

This week Oregon got its official state vegetable.

After some minor controversy, the potato was officially recognized as Oregon’s first vegetable. Senate Concurrent Resolution 3 passed in June 2023, but the dedication of a plaque naming the potato Oregon’s official veggie took place at the State Capitol in Salem on Monday. That’s right. The potato.

Now we’ll see if farmers can keep receiving the water they need to keep growing potatoes in our state.

 

The Oregon Potato Commission, noting in a press release that “potatoes are the number one vegetable produced in the state and an important economic driver.” The organization began lobbying for the potato to the become state vegetable back in 2018, after learning that Oregon had no official vegetable. There are multiple longtime potato farms based here in the Klamath Basin.

People wanting to drive around Crater Lake National Park’s Rim Drive, the road that loops around Crater Lake, can do so – at least for a short time.

Construction work on a section of East Rim Drive has been completed for the season, according to Crater Lake National Park officials. They caution the opportunity may be brief, noting, “The entirety of Rim Drive will remain open until Nov. 1 or the first significant snowfall, whichever comes first.”

East Rim Drive had been closed this summer from Skell Head to the Phantom Sip Overlook, including the Cloudcap Road. The upgrades to Rim Drive are expected to “make driving safer and smoother.

The multi-year reconstruction project that began in 2023 and is expected to be completed in 2027 costs is expected to cost about $56 million and is funded by Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) Legacy Restoration Fund. When completed, about 19 miles of East Rim Drive and a portion of the Cloudcap Spur Road will be upgraded. Park officials note East Rim Drive extends along the southern, eastern, and northern rim of the Crater Lake caldera.

Along providing visitor access to panoramic views of the volcanic created caldera from overlooks, the road provides accesses to hiking trails, picnic areas, geological formations and waterfalls.

 

While the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLMs) Gerber Recreation Area remains open year-round, the area will be entering off-season starting September 30, 2024.

During the off-season, no amenities are provided, such as drinking water, trash collection, and there will be no camp host on duty; however, camping is FREE.

Gerber is set on a vast plateau in the high desert about one hour’s drive east of Klamath Falls. Mountain ridges and scattered Ponderosa Pine forests add variety and texture to the area.

Gerber offers opportunities for camping, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking, along with access to 100,000 acres of backcountry suitable for exploring, hunting, wildlife viewing, and scenic OHV driving.

As you head out to picnic, camp, or hike in the outdoors, we want you to be safe from the risk of wildfire. Make sure all off-road vehicles have a properly functioning catalytic converter or approved spark arrester.

 

Nighttime “Flashlight Tours” of the Baldwin Hotel Museum will be offered Friday and Saturday evenings from from Friday, Sept. 27, through the month of October.

The hour-long tours, which start at 7 p.m., cover portions of all four floors of the 119-year-old building that has been a public museum since 1978. Four spots can be reserved with a bank card for $10 per person by calling the Klamath County Museum at (541) 882-1000.

Around the State of Oregon

A missing woman from McMinnville has been found dead in Douglas County.

According to the Myrtle Creek Police Department, an ODOT employee spotted a vehicle down a steep embankment along Highway 138 approximately 35 miles east of Glide Wednesday morning.

Police identified the vehicle as belonging to 69-year-old Kathleen Wilson of McMinnville. She had been reported missing back on August 5. Pending official identification from the medical examiner, it is believed to be Wilson’s body that was found inside the vehicle.

The preliminary investigation indicates Wilson was driving eastbound on Highway 138 when for an unknown reason her vehicle traveled across the roadway and down the embankment on the opposite side of the highway.

Myrtle Point police were assisted by ODOT, OSP, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, and U.S. Forest Service.

 

A young Newport teenager has been arrested in connection to an online threat.

Newport Police started getting calls on Tuesday about a post on Snapchat that appeared to imply a school shooting might happen.  Police identified the 14-year-old as a student from Newport High School.  The investigation found the threat had no validity and there wasn’t an active threat.

Because of the concern it caused in the community, police arrested the teen who was charged with Disorderly Conduct.

 

Police in Astoria are investigating a double fatal shooting.

They were called to the Bayshore Apartments Wednesday morning when a maintenance worker found two people who had been shot.

A man and woman died at the scene.  Investigators say they were married, and it appears the husband killed his wife and then shot himself.

 

Oregon’s House of Representatives is examining recent data errors by the State that caused more than 1,200 people’s names to be removed from voter roles after lapses by a State agency.

Oregon’s Driver and Motor Vehicle agency (DMV) and Oregon Secretary of State (SoS) told a House committee the recent data errors did not affect prior elections and won’t affect November 2024’s election.

The House Majority Party Office says House Rules Committee members learned about what led to errors, the corrective actions taken, and reaffirmed that Oregon’s automatic voter registration system remains among the best in the country at a Committee hearing.

It says the House Rules Committee reviewed Monday’s announcement that Oregon DMV clerical errors led to 1,259 Oregonians being improperly registered to vote (0.04% of registered voters in the state), with nine of those potentially ineligible voters having cast ballots.

SoS confirmed no ballots will be issued to any potential non-U.S. citizen for the upcoming election, and the DMV demonstrated progress in improved accuracy through safeguards in their processes to register Oregon voters.

 

Oregon’s forest and fire leaders were clear in describing this year’s wildfire season to a group of Oregon senators.

Kyle Williams and two others — Doug Graffe, Gov. Tina Kotek’s wildfire and military advisor; and Travis Medema, a chief deputy for the Oregon State Fire Marshal — told senators the state would likely wrap up its now five monthlong fire season in mid-October, following a record 1.9 million acres burned. That’s nearly three times as many acres as the state’s 10-year average and poor forest management over the years by any standards according to one source.

Medema said projections from the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center, which coordinates wildfire resources, showed one or two more “significant event days” before the state is fully out of the 2024 wildfire season.

The Oregon Department of Forestry is currently fighting a 300-acre fire near Coos Bay and the Fossil Complex in eastern Oregon, made up of five fires over nearly 25,000 acres.

The bulk of the wildfires have burned through east Oregon grass and shrub, with about 25% of it in forestland, according to the Wildland Mapping Institute.

More than one-third of all acres blackened have been on private land, and about 62% has been on federal land. Most wildfires are caused by humans, according to the interagency coordination center, but this year the bulk of blazes have started from natural causes, such as lightning.

The wildfires prompted Kotek to declare a statewide emergency and ask for federal help and regulatory flexibility for farmers and ranchers. She’s also invoked the Conflagration Act 17 times this year, with the latest invocation on Sept. 10 for the Service Fire in Wheeler County. The act unleashes resources to fight blazes that threaten lives, communities or key infrastructure.

 

Perhaps the most glaring distinction between the two leading candidates for Oregon secretary of state is where they fall on the very basics: how Oregonians vote.

Liberal Democratic nominee Tobias Read would like to see Oregon’s vote-by-mail serve as a national model, while Republican Dennis Linthicum recently filed a lawsuit questioning the validity of mail-in voting altogether and the chances for fraud of many kinds.

Four years ago, former President Donald Trump raised issues about absentee voting and falsely claimed the election was stolen.

Conservatives have echoed those concerns, which have largely been dismissed by Democrats.

But in recent weeks, revelations that Oregon mistakenly registered at least 306 noncitizens to vote injected a new level of intensity in an otherwise relatively drama-free statewide race for Oregon secretary of state.

Linthicum has seized on the issue. There is no evidence that the people mistakenly added to the voter rolls are in the United States illegally nor that they intentionally registered to vote.

They were passively registered through the DMV’s automatic voter registration law, known as motor voter law.

For his part, Tobias Read, the Democrat from Beaverton, has said he was “appalled” by the discovery and said the secretary of state must move quickly to “protect the integrity of our system.”

Read, the current state treasurer and former house lawmaker, said he plans to bring stability to the role. The office, he said, has seen enough excitement recently. The previously elected Secretary of State Shemia Fagan announced in May 2023 that she was stepping down before her term was over.

Her announcement came after revelations, first reported by Willamette Week, that she had signed a lucrative contract with a cannabis company at the same time her office audited state regulations on cannabis business. The owners of the cannabis company were also high-profile Democratic donors.

 

The Oregon Department of Forestry needs emergency funding to pay for the most expensive wildfire season in state history, with record-high costs of $250 million and counting.

As of mid-September, more than 1.9 million acres of land had burned across Oregon — nearly double the acreage burned in the notorious 2020 wildfire season, and far above any other year in ODF’s recorded history.

ODF has now exhausted its funds. In order to pay firefighters and contractors, the department is returning to its usual process of acquiring more money from the state — except this time, it may not be enough. Outside of the legislative session, agencies turn Oregon’s Emergency Board. Staffed by the Legislative Fiscal Office (LFO), the E-Board allocates emergency funds to keep things afloat until lawmakers return.

Dozens of state agencies submit requests every few months. ODF is asking for $47.5 million from the E-Board this September, including a request for $40 million from the board’s general fund.

Three of the last five years (2020, 2021 and 2024) have eclipsed costs of $120 million, with 2024’s figure of $250 million and rising seen as a wake-up call for the state.

Fall and winter will likely bring an increase in flu, COVID and RSV infections.

Oregon health officials are urging you to get vaccinated. While they may not keep you from getting sick, they’ll help keep you out of the hospital. Three percent of infants younger than six months are hospitalized with RSV. Most of them have no underlying illnesses. They also say parents need to get kids vaccinated against measles.

Oregon has dropped below the 95 percent threshold for herd immunity in school-aged children. There have been 31 measles cases this year, and measles can have life-long effects.

 

The maximum rent increase in Oregon for units older than 15 years is 10 percent next year.

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services sets the rate each year in September. It’s seven percent plus the annual Consumer Price Index or 10 percent, whichever is lower.

Since the law took effect in 2019 for renters and landlords, the increase has held around nine or ten percent each year.

 

Oregon is receiving four-million-dollars to improve behavioral health services around the state.

The money is coming from the Health Resources and Services Administration. 240-million-dollars is being distributed nationwide. The money will go to health centers in Portland, Roseburg, Prineville, Hood River, and Fossil. Health centers serve as a primary source of care for people who are uninsured, underinsured, or enrolled in Medicaid.

 

A single word describes 2024 fall hunting — extraordinary.

This hunting season will offer both extraordinary challenges and extraordinary opportunities.

According to officials, the challenges: Massive fires have burned nearly 2 million acres in eastern and southern Oregon. While this past week offered some rainfall relief, the forecast is for sunny weather up to and including the onset of the popular general buck deer seasons.

Chronic wasting disease pretty much surrounds Oregon, with detections in Washington, Idaho and California (not Nevada — yet). Botulism and avian flu, prevalent in low-water years, are possible among migrating waterfowl statewide.

The opportunities: Continued mild winters offer some extraordinary bumps in game-bird populations. Most (not all) big game numbers are up across most of the state, including buck and bull ratios for deer and elk. Hunters returning from bow seasons in the east report very few wasps (just a little icing on the cake here).

A note for those with coveted big game tags: Deer, elk and bears are mostly capable of escaping raging fires and can migrate into other areas of any wildlife management unit. They also tend to gravitate quickly back into burned zones to take advantage of emerging vegetation.

 

The Oregon Department of Education, in partnership with the Oregon Lottery, is announcing the Lake Regional Teacher of the Year.

Deborah Watts is a third-grade teacher at the Arthur D. Hay Elementary School in Lakeview.

Educators can be nominated for Regional Teacher of the Year by students, colleagues, administrators, friends, and family members. As shared by a colleague in her nomination, “living in a rural/frontier community presents several challenges for educators. We are lucky to have Ms. Watts as a teacher, mentor, and advocate. Every student Ms. Watts interacts with leaves her classroom better prepared with academics and social-emotional skills.”

As the Lake Regional Teacher of the Year, Watts will receive $1,000 and is entered into the running for Oregon Teacher of the Year. The statewide winner will be announced in October.

 

A year-long renovation project to restore and enhance the Douglas County Veterans War Memorial culminated late last week in a rededication ceremony attended by local officials, veterans, and community members.

The memorial, situated on the grounds of the Douglas County Courthouse, now features new plaques, a Purple Heart Memorial statue, updated landscaping, and two additional flagpoles to properly display the United States, Oregon, and POW/MIA flags.

The project, made possible through a $59,000 grant from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, aimed to preserve the integrity of the memorial and ensure its accessibility for future generations.

Commissioner Tim Freeman says he has watched the restoration project unfold with anticipation.  The ceremony included the first-time raising of the POW/MIA flag over the courthouse, a wreath-laying in honor of fallen soldiers, recognition of Blue and Gold Star families, and a traditional ribbon-cutting. The Geneva Academy of Roseburg Honor Choir sang the “Star Spangled Banner” as well as “God Bless America,” bagpipes played by Hector the Hero were accompanied by a 21-gun salute, and the playing of Taps.

Commissioner Chris Boice gave a special proclamation honoring September 20 as POW/MIA recognition day in Douglas County.

 

The Portland Trail Blazers will have their games broadcast over-the-air this TV season.

This is because of a newly announced partnership between the team and Sinclair TV Broadcasting Inc. All games will be over-the-air on either KATU or KUNP in the Portland area.

All fans will need is an antenna to watch games. There will also be a direct-to-consumer streaming service dubbed BlazerVision. The service will cost 120 dollars for the season.
